About Oleg


Bio

I work with my students through Math Competition Program (MCP). The goal of MCP is to give all students a solid foundation in competition mathematics. To successfully accomplish this, I build upon topics gradually and thoroughly - rather than providing a quick fix for problems and gaps. Every new idea and block of information needs time to become absorbed in student's mind. Every new skill needs to be practiced, to generate questions and to be practiced again, then generate more questions...

I work with my students through Math Competition Program (MCP). The goal of MCP is to give all students a solid foundation in competition mathematics. To successfully accomplish this, I build upon topics gradually and thoroughly - rather than providing a quick fix for problems and gaps. Every new idea and block of information needs time to become absorbed in student's mind. Every new skill needs to be practiced, to generate questions and to be practiced again, then generate more questions and challenge me together with student to make it "stick". I believe that once a child masters a skill, he or she is able to use it and build on it in an unlimited number of new applications.
I entered Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology at age of 16, about the same age as my AoPS students now. I worked as a National Lab (ANL) scientist, university (UC or Texas A&M), and industrial trainer. I teach any HS, college Math, Physics, Statistics or programming (SAS, SQL). I tutor teams for college competitions (HMMT, BMT, etc.).
My motto "..he leads and does not drag; he strengthens and does not discourage; he opens the way but does not conduct to the end (without the learner's own efforts). Leading, and not dragging, produces harmony. Strengthening and not discouraging makes attainment easy. Opening the way and not conducting to the end makes (the learner) thoughtful. " ( by Li Jing).
I am dedicated to providing a full-summer academic program with bi-weekly classes and homework. I believe that this is the most effective and the least stressful way for students to truly learn, understand, and enjoy mathematics.
I also help University students with their SAS/SQL codes, or offer alternative codes.

Great tutor

He’s a super great tutor. He’s been a true lifesaver! I’ll be using Oleg throughout my undergrad and graduate career.

Excellent tutor

Oleg did a great job as my son’s tutor . He tailored his lesson to my son’s needs and was super responsive!. We used him to help prepare for some advanced math competitions and it was an excellent fit. Highly recommend him!

Knowledgeable and patient

Oleg is a good teacher, knowledgeable, and patient. He helped on preparing for AMC test. He first evaluated your level by sending some questions and then plan several classes based on your level. He definitely knows what he is teaching very well. An excellent teacher!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Oleg, is expanding my comprehension of the fundamentals at a critical point in my studies. We have worked on Import, Data, and Proc statements. Additionally, he is helping to organize my code so that it is efficient to read with clarity and describe with precision. ~ Thank you. Matt W.

SAS Tutor

Oleg was very patient with me and made the lesson fun. I struggled learning SAS online and needed some one on one tutoring. Oleg save the day. I would reccomend Oleg to everyone.

Great tutor.

I learned some commands for proc SQL in SAS. I needed help with working with data for a project at work. I recommend Oleg as a very knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Great Tutor & Teacher

Oleg is an excellent tutor. More importantly, he's not judgmental and condescending when helping you understand Calc. He's very thorough in explaining concepts like Definite Integrals and Area of Circles, and Oleg will even draw graphs to help you visually understand your material a lot better. He will not ask you things like "how did you not know that?" since he's sharp enough to already know you didn't otherwise you wouldn't need him around as a tutor if you did. Patience is his virtue, and he will meet you at your level. Double thumbs up for Oleg!
